Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| create_share_link | A public web page with the results of a completed job, for your user to open or send to others. Anyone with the link can see it until the job expires. | Changes data |
| create_upload | For a file that is neither a public link nor attached in this chat. Returns upload_url (send the file there with an HTTP PUT, then call start_transcription) and upload_page_url (a page where your user uploads the file in a browser instead; the transcription then starts by itself). | Changes data |
| delete_job | Delete the uploaded file, the transcript and all other results of a job right away, instead of 24 hours after the last activity. Cannot be undone. | Destructive |
| estimate_cost | Price for transcribing a recording of a given length, and how many free minutes are left today — for your IP, or for your user's account once your robot_key is linked. | Read-only |
| get_job | Status and results of one job whose job_id you have (from transcribe_url, transcribe_file or create_upload; list_jobs finds a lost job_id). While status is "waiting_for_upload", "queued" or "processing", call it again every 10-20 seconds; each answer has a next_step. "completed": the transcript in the chosen format, download links and zip_url (all results in one ZIP), plus summary, action_items and translations when requested. "payment_required": a preview of the first 100 words and a payment_url to show your user; call get_job again after they pay. "failed": an error message. "deleted": the files are gone (24 hours after the last activity, or delete_job). | Read-only |
| get_service_info | Call this first when you are new to convert.express, before quoting a price to your user, or when unsure whether a file, link or language is supported. Returns one JSON object: how_to_use (which tool to call in which order), free_use, price (per minute, minimum charges), models, language, speaker_labels, ai_extras (summary, action items, translation), output_formats, input (max file size, audio and video formats, supported links) and privacy. Takes no parameters and changes nothing. | Read-only |
| list_jobs | Your jobs that still exist (jobs are deleted 24 hours after the last activity), newest first, with their status. | Read-only |
| pay_job | Pay for the full transcript of a job whose get_job status is "payment_required", with USDC on Tempo or a card your user shared through a Stripe Shared Payment Token (MPP). Call without payment: you get a payment challenge with the exact price — in EUR for a card, in USDC for Tempo. Your MPP client pays it and calls again. Without an MPP wallet, show payment_url from get_job to your user instead. | Destructive |
| request_summary | Ask for an AI summary or action items of a completed job. Returns at once; the result appears in get_job ("summary" / "action_items"). | Changes data |
| send_feedback | Tell the convert.express team about a bug, a missing feature, or a question — from you or your user. A human reads every message; there is no automatic reply. Include reply_email only if your user wants an answer. | Changes data |
| start_transcription | Call after the PUT to upload_url has finished. Checks the file arrived and queues it. | Changes data |
| transcribe_file | Start transcribing an audio or video file your user attached in this chat. convert.express downloads it from the chat's temporary link. Returns job_id; then poll get_job. | Changes data |
| transcribe_url | Start transcribing a media file from a public link (direct file link, YouTube video or Simplecast podcast episode page). Returns job_id and robot_key; then poll get_job. | Changes data |
| translate | Translate the transcript, subtitles (timecodes kept), summary or action items of a completed job into another language. Returns at once; the result appears in get_job under "translations". | Changes data |
